Ace! Come visit me!
I'll take you on a tour of the area - are you going to be in Melbourne at all?

2011? Hang on, won't you be over here by then?

ohhhhh wait, it depends on what time of year...
I thought she meant my winter time :( Not yours. Guess I can't do that then. *gutted*

If you're over here by then though we can at least meet at a bash and you can tell me all about Australia :)

( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 26 Jul 2010, 10:24, Reply)

I get to the UK on the 15th of Nov.
I have about 10 days free on my time of travelling so far.

Looks like we'll have to sort a Manc bash so we can all meet you!

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 26 Jul 2010, 10:27, Reply)

i'd need to work out a place to stay in manc first.
but that sounds pretty good to me.
(Poppet some assembly required., Mon 26 Jul 2010, 10:28, Reply)

There are several b3tans in/around Manchester
So you won't be too stuck. Work out any date you can make, and we'll arrange a bash for it
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 26 Jul 2010, 10:32, Reply)

umm well I'll probably be free before the 10th of november?
from around the 6th to the 10th? On the 10th though I'll be in Yorkshire.
(Poppet some assembly required., Mon 26 Jul 2010, 10:33, Reply)

So Friday 5th or Saturday 6th really
I hope we buck the trend, and go for a Saturday bash, as I'm at a gig on the friday, and would prefer to not be a sweaty mess at a bash (again)
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 26 Jul 2010, 10:35, Reply)

well
You'll just have to add the event to the calendar yourself, then, to make sure it's a sat
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Mon 26 Jul 2010, 10:47, Reply)

It's down to everyone else really, I'll create the event, then ask if anyone would prefer the friday
IIRC, it's the same weekend we had the bash last year, where BGB repainted her hotel room

I really don't mind when it is, so long as I get to meet folks.

Signed in
And a few suggestions. I'll do my best to be here. I'm going to write it down in my calendar now.

Yup it's going in my Diary too!

(Poppet some assembly required., Mon 26 Jul 2010, 11:05, Reply)

Um AA, I think I may have confused you.
I meant I'll be staying in yorkshire on the 10th of DECEMBER.
On the 6th of november I'll be sitting my Psychology exam.
(Poppet some assembly required., Mon 26 Jul 2010, 11:08, Reply)

Oh, bad
If it's the 6th of December I can't make it for sure. I'll be leaving England at the end of November for 3 blessed months.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Mon 26 Jul 2010, 11:18, Reply)

I"m glad you're off somewhere fun.
but sad at the same time. are you free between then 26th and 29th of November? Maybe we could catch up then?
(Poppet some assembly required., Mon 26 Jul 2010, 11:24, Reply)

I don't know where I'm going to be by then
Otherwise I'd offer you my flat. I'll be able to tell you something closer to the day.

Thank you!
that's very kind of you.
(Poppet some assembly required., Mon 26 Jul 2010, 11:02, Reply)

I have a spare room in Manchester
so depending on whether or not we've ironically switched places by then, I might have a bed for you
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 26 Jul 2010, 10:49, Reply)

aha. thank you - I appreciate that.
I'll definitely take you up on it if we haven't swapped continents.
(Poppet some assembly required., Mon 26 Jul 2010, 10:52, Reply)

I might not be in Manchester by November
But I could always come up and pay you all a visit, couldn't I?

it would be lovely to meet you :)

She is rather lovely

I'm hoping to hop on and off the Greyhound bus tours
starting in Adelaide where some friends live, then going across to Sydney and then up to Brisbane, so I won't be in Melbourne I'm afraid. We can only go for 2 weeks because Wiggy can't take more than 2 weeks off at a time :(
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 26 Jul 2010, 10:23, Reply)

that's fair enough.
Greyhound tours are pretty good I've heard - so that's a good idea. I warn you though - pack at least one set of warm clothes. What time of winter were you planning on going?
(Poppet some assembly required., Mon 26 Jul 2010, 10:25, Reply)

I think we'll be looking at around October/November time
I always pack a couple of jumpers, I'm like a lizard even in hot countries.

I've got no idea of distances and time frames though, how long do you reckon a Greyhound bus would take to go from say Adelaide to Sydney? It's got about 5 stops on the way as well.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 26 Jul 2010, 10:51, Reply)

Wow!
That's a long, long flight for 2 weeks, but it's better than nothing. I'm sure you'll enjoy it a lot and he'll want to go again.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Mon 26 Jul 2010, 10:25, Reply)

fingers crossed
He might be able to persuade them to let us have 3 weeks, but I can't rely on it so I think I'll work on 2 weeks and if we get extra time then that's a bonus.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 26 Jul 2010, 10:51, Reply)

Good thinking
3 weeks is just about right, if you don't do stop-overs on the way. I'm so happy you've finally convinced him. I hope you get to save the money.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Mon 26 Jul 2010, 11:05, Reply)

That's why I've set it so far away, so I only have to save a little bit a month.
As soon as I get a tenant in my rental property I won't be quite so stretched so it shouldn't be impossible. Having said that though, things always seem to pop up and sap my savings!
